Allyl Methyl Disulfide（CAS#2179-58-0）

Introduction

Allyl methyl disulfide is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of allyl methyl disulfide:

Quality:

Allyl methyl disulfide is a colorless liquid with a strong pungent odor. It is soluble in most organic solvents but insoluble in water. The compound is stable at room temperature, but decomposition may occur when exposed to heat or oxygen.

Use:

Allyl methyl disulfide is mainly used as an intermediate and catalyst in chemical synthesis. It can be used in the synthesis of organic sulfides, organic mercaptans, and other organosulfur compounds. It can also be used for shrinkage reactions, substitution reactions, etc. in organic synthesis.

Method:

Allyl methyl disulfide can be obtained by the reaction of methyl acetylene and sulfur catalyzed by cuprous chloride. The specific synthesis route is as follows:

CH≡CH + S8 + CuCl → CH3SSCH=CH2

Safety Information:

Allyl methyl disulfide is highly irritating and may cause irritation or burns in contact with the skin and eyes. Appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, safety glasses, and protective masks should be worn when using and handling. It should be kept away from open flames and high temperatures to ensure good ventilation. If ingested or inhaled, seek medical attention immediately.

In terms of storage, allyl methyl disulfide should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from oxidants and flammable materials. If not handled and stored properly, it can be harmful to humans and the environment. When using allyl methyl disulfide, it is important to pay attention to safe handling and proper handling.
